UConn now has more National Titles than Kansas

[jfuchs91]

And has tied Duke for the most since the tournament expanded in 1985. Let that all sink in for a minute.

Being a Blue Blood isn't even a question anymore; we're arguably the best basketball program of the modern era.

Heck yeah!!! We are up there with the Kentucky's, North Carolinas, the Dukies, and Kansas programs. This is awesome!!!

Didn't want to mess up the mojo, but from here on in I will be making up for lost time. . .

We've also tied Duke for overall titles.

We don't even need to question we're a blue blood... Actually most of the "blue bloods" need to argue they are in our league since the others are so outdated...

We earn everything we get. . .and now even the haters look silly. . .UConn Blue Bloods. . . Go lady Huskies. . . Everybody else is second to UConn. . . Y'all mid majors when standing next to UCONN!

 

[Kitaman]

No one needs to talk or argue about us being blue bloods, just have the players get bloodwork done.

On other boards I would often concede that we would have to win with a second coach to get the program to blue blood status. . .well we've arrived. . . and way ahead of freaking schedule. . .

We've also tied Duke for overall titles.

And we did it without ESPN and the NCAA slobbering all over our coach's johnson

We did it the old fashioned way. . .we earned it.

 

[Dooley]

We've done it with 2 different coaches too. That's the true test of an elite program with staying power. Sorry America, UCONN ain't going anywhere. Easily Top5 program with a solid argument for #1.

 

[amory]

I'm so happy. I literally had tears when the buzzer sounded. I'd argue that this is our most important championship, beating out even '99. We're still here, and we're not going anywhere.

In the immortal words of DMX: "We right here. We're not goin' anywhere."

 

[junglehusky]

Of course we're a Blue Blood program. We #BleedBlue. National Flag Blue, that is.

[doggydaddy]

Anyone want to bet who get's #5 first, UConn or Duke?

Coach K will retire without another one.

It's not going to be Syracuse.

I think all our titles are pretty much slobber free.
